    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    Naked dresses are perhaps the most impressive of all red carpet feats. While they may not always make the best-dressed list, they do require a certain breed of celebrity to pull off. Not only do you have to have the balls to risk a wardrobe malfunction, but you have to do it with enough confidence that you look fierce — not terrified — in the photographs. Take Naomi Campbell's appearance in Valentino's couture show during the spring/summer 2019 presentation. The legendary model gracefully strutted down the runway in a see-through gown with a ruffle skirt. (Click through the gallery for the NSFW photo).Ā  Get the inside scoop on all your favorite celebrities with our FREE daily newsletter, InStyle Celebrity. Breaking news, relationship updates, hairstyle inspo, fashion trends, and more direct to your inbox! Let's not forgetĀ Rihanna’s infamous CFDA dress either. The girl rocked a completely sheer dress without a bra — and later remarked that her only regret was not wearing a bedazzled thong to match. That, my friends, is dedication. Then, there was the year 2015, when the Met Gala saw not one nor two but three naked dresses on the red carpet, all worn by Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. Jennifer Lopez, above, bared her famous curves in a custom Atelier Versace illusion gown. BeyoncĆ© was nearly naked in Givenchy. And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in. Click through to see the best naked dresses of all time.

Summertime calls for an endless amount of outdoor weddings. But along with those longer days, breathtaking sunsets, and starry nights come some seriously blistering temperatures. And that’s not exactly a fun situation when you have a full face of makeup and a blowout... let alone if you’re a man in a suit. I just got back from a wedding in St. Louis, and while it was an incredible weekend under the sun and stars, it certainly was a scorcher.

Are you and your spouse-to-be planning on saying and celebrating your I Do's in the heat? Your all-dolled-up guests will appreciate (maybe even praise) you for providing a few things to help them stay cool under the blazing sun. Ice cold beverages, fans, personal water bottles, and more can keep everyone from searching for the nearest AC-filled establishment and let them party into the wee hours right alongside you two.

Check out our list of some solid recommendations.

Once you get the buckets, add some scoops. Consider a couple of the Crafthouse by Fortessa Ice Scoops—just the right size to fill any glass, shaker or mixing glass quickly. Drain openings keep the water out of your drink and reduce unwanted dilution.
